Does anyone know of a professional monitoring service that accepts alarms through an API that doesn't require their own hardware? I want to make a DIY #securitysystem that uses #homeassistant to dispatch requests for assistance. I've had a terrible time with simplisafe's range on their wireless protocol. I'd rather set up my own with #zwave and #UniFi Protect Smart Sensors that I can feel confident about and only pay for professional monitoring, not remote access or anything else. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

My #Hubitat #HomeAutomation hub recently received a #FirmwareUpdate that enabled a super cool new feature: An interactive #GraphNetwork visualization of the relationships between my #ZWave and #Zigbee devices. My inner #DataViz geek is jumping for joy right now.

I'm no security researcher, but my intuition has always told me that #SmartHome devices shouldn't have direct access to the network. Therefore, I've gone out of my way to avoid #WiFi based devices in favor of #ZWave or #Zigbee whenever possible, working under the assumption that an attacker would first need to #pwn my #Hubitat before they could access any of my actual #HomeAutomation devices. In your expert opinion, is my intuition on this subject more or less accurate?

Finally got around to replacing the incredibly unreliable #ZWave switch for the garden light with a cheap Sonoff #Zigbee Switch 😀
Much faster response and hopefully better reliability.
Note - the ZWave switch is not unreliable in protocol, it's just at the very edge of the network range.
Just in case, dass mal jemand hier #zwave #Rauchmelder kaufen will.
Nicht die 10-Jahresmelder von #POPP nehmen - die sind komplett #PITA!

Going full Home Assistant may be a 2023 summer project for me...

Ok #SmartHome folks - hold me accountable. I have several sensors that have had dead batteries for a bit.... I commit to getting fresh batteries installed today. #HomeAssistant #Zigbee #ZWave #Tech

Why did I not do this much earlier?
#HomeKit in a combination with #Thinka #ZWave-Bridge, #HomeBridge and plugins for #SMA, #Tesla, and #cameraUI is a bless.
Totally flashed by cameraUI. Such a great piece of work!

Finally got around to building my PoE HA Yellow system with 8GB Pi4 and SSD. I do love the single cable simplicity.
I don't so much love the downgrade from the i3 NUC I was using (I had to break Frigate off back on to the NUC as a Docker instance because Yellow is too weak for it). And my Zwave network is already using a separate Pi4 and ZwaveJS-UI with a Z-Stick 7 connected there. So I'm really not using that 8GB. But that's okay.

Mad props to #Zooz for making great products and for making them easy to get setup with #HomeAssistant! Little things like adding a copy of the #ZWave Smart Start QR code to each device's box and great docs really show their attention to detail.

For plug-in switches, I'm using #SwitchBot minis, #Wyze outdoor, and Securifi Peanuts (those are #zwave and have a bug that makes initial setup annoying, but they are super reliable after.) In-wall outlets/switches are all #zwave, mostly GE/Enbrighten.
#HomeAssistant can also operate #Hue gear directly (via #zigbee) and I think they have some switching outlets.

@dustinrue @homeassistant My experience is with #ZWave devices that require a Z-Wave USB device. And with the #NodOn Micro Smart Plug, so far I have two and one act weird. The other is fine. But waiting for #Matter devices and a #skyconnect
